On May 31 and June 1, the Montgomery County Planning Department’s Wheaton Placemaking Initiative and the Wheaton Urban District invite the community to Wheels in Wheaton, a free and interactive two-day event in the Wheaton Triangle showcasing how areas within urban centers can be transformed into more vibrant and entertaining public gathering spaces.
A public parking lot behind The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s (M-NCPPC) Wheaton headquarters will be temporarily transformed into a roller-skating rink for public use surrounded by various gathering spaces, art installations, food and beverages, and family-friendly activities and entertainment.
Cost: Free for all ages
